Kölner Hohenzollernbrücke

Cologne Hohenzollern Bridge

Designed and Built by Peter Hartel, Sauerland, Germany

An overview of the bridge, from the western bank.  The railroad curves north-west to the mail train station.  The bridge is in line with the cathedral.

The original bridge had statues flanking the entrance.  OK, not green.

A closer look at the connection of the metal spans with the piers.  AVs know such a connection is not easy to do this well.

The modern bridge, showing the location of the main rail station and the cathedral.

There are many pictures of this bridge on the Internet.
The pictures of the current bridge are bright, clear and, from an Anchor point of view, uninteresting.  The pictures of the older version of the bridge are not as clear and bright, but much more interesting for Anchor builders.

Perhaps Meccano will find merit in this modern design.
